Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to learn about the safety of the treatment with a combination of bendamustine and rituximab and to find out what effects, both good and bad this treatment has on DLBCL. In addition to learning about the combination of bendamustine and rituximab, the researchers are interested in learning about how this cancer treatment affects daily activities. Subjects will be asked to complete a Geriatric Assessment (GA). GAs are designed to gather information on memory, nutritional status, mental health, and level of social support. GAs are also designed to help the health care team understand how well subjects can carry out their day to day activities and to briefly describe what other medical conditions subjects may have. This assessment will help the health care team understand a subject's "functional age" (the age a subject functions at) as compared to a subject's actual age. The researchers also want to learn how chemotherapy affects the aging process in our bodies. This is done by measuring the amount of p16 in blood. Researchers want to understand if chemotherapy changes the levels of p16 in blood.
The purpose of this study is to define if flow cytometry has more sensitivity for detecting neoplastic cells in cerebrospinal fluid versus conventional cytology.
This is a Phase II, open label, fixed dose, repeat injection, single institution study. Eligible subjects will receive up to six doses of Ad-ISF35 injected directly into a selected lymph node under ultrasound guidance. The primary goal is to determine and monitor clinical and biological responses in patients treated with repeat intranodal injections of Ad-ISF35.
This is a multi-center, phase 1b study of AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib or vorinostat in subjects with relapsed or refractory low grade lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large cell lymphoma, and Hodgkin's disease. Part 1 is an open-label, dose-escalation phase (3+3 design) to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib or vorinostat. Subjects will be enrolled into one of two arms based on investigator selection (either the bortezomib + AMG 655 arm or vorinostat + AMG 655 arm). Part 2 of the study is a dose expansion phase that will commence after dose selection of AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib in Part 1. In Part 2, subjects (n = 20) with mantle cell lymphoma will be given AMG 655 in combination with bortezomib. The dose of AMG 655 used in combination with bortezomib will be based on safety and pharmacokinetic information obtained from Part 1 as well as from ongoing AMG 655 trials.
This is a multicentric, non-randomized, non-controlled open-label phase II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treosulfan in a combination regimen with fludarabine as conditioning therapy prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with haematological malignancies. The aim is to demonstrate a clinical benefit compared with historical data on intravenous busulfan (BusulfexTM, BusilvexTM), the only drug so far registered in the indication conditioning before allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the addition of 90Y Zevalin to BEAM chemotherapy (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) and rituximab is more effective than the combination of BEAM and rituximab alone in patients with lymphoma who receive a stem cell transplant.
Early identification of refractory lymphoma patients provides a basis for stratification between responders to standard approaches and non-responders who may benefit from an early change to an alternative treatment strategy.Metabolic or molecular imaging with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) has emerged as a powerful imaging modality for diagnosis, staging, and therapy monitoring of a variety of cancers. The primary hypothesis of the present study is that early response can be pinpointed by PET reflecting both tumor burden and activity, as a surrogate for final outcome. An increasing number of studies have suggested the potential role of 18F-FDG PET in the staging and monitoring of lymphomas. The optimal timing of PET scans and the potential role of quantitative PET using SUV to assess response to chemotherapy remain to be defined. Confirmation of very early 18F-FDG-PET as a significant predictor of treatment response in a homogenous group of aggressive lymphoma patients would potentially change the prognosis of the patient by allowing earlier use of alternative therapies and discontinuation of therapy that will not lead to a significant tumour response.
This is an open-label, multicenter, phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of single-agent AT-101 in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to compare the standard CHOP-R regimen of Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone, and Rituximab to CPOP-R (same regimen, but substituting Doxorubicin with Pixantrone). The objective is to show that CPOP-R is not inferior to CHOP-R.
Conventional therapy is effective for diffuse aggressive lymphomas and low grade lymphomas, but is limited by relapse occurs in 40 to 50% of subjects. This study assesses autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) supplemented with high-dose therapy increases the event-free survival in diffuse aggressive lymphomas and low grade lymphomas, as an alternative to the limitations of conventional therapy. Preliminary studies with rituximab in low grade lymphomas indicate a response rate of about 50% with very little toxicity. Rituximab is hypothesized to be a candidate for post-transplant therapy because the majority of malignant lymphomas express the CD20 antigen; rituximab has impressive independent anti-tumor activity; and the antibody has little toxicity outside of the acute administration.
